Republicans Grow Angry As Trump Continues To Hoard Campaign Cash

Donald Trump's political action committee is currently sitting on more cash than both the Democratic and Republican parties combined, and Republicans are growing increasingly angry that Trump isn't sharing the wealth. Not only is he taking money away from them by bombarding donors with limited funds, but he isn't even forking over any cash to any of the candidates that he has endorsed.

Twice impeached former president Donald Trump is currently sitting on more campaign cash than both the democratic and Republican parties combined. It has estimated that Donald Trump currently has about 108 million little over 108 million in his save a Erica political action committee. Whereas the Democrats and Republicans, you put their money together. I think they've got maybe 74 million combined Democrats are currently sitting on more than the Republican party. And that's actually kind of, what's off Republicans right now. Not only are Democrats out raising the, him and sitting on more cash, but Donald Trump and his nonstop fundraising from people with limited funds, that's the key is starving. The Republican party of money. That's the first gripe that these Republicans have. You are taking money from people who only have a finite amount to give, and they're giving it to you instead of to the party. And then the second big gripe is that okay? You have your political action committee who stated purpose is to, uh, let me read it here. Uh, supporting Republican candidates going into this year's hotly contested, midterm elections. Cool. Share the wealth. The Republican say, and Donald Trump says, no, I'm not. In fact, according to the latest numbers, Donald Trump has given out a whopping $0 to Republican candidates this year, no money, not one, not $1, not one penny, nothing. Trump has given nothing to any of these Republicans, including a big fat zero to the 120 candidates that he has personally endorsed. So that Trump endorsement's not working out well for anybody here, including Donald Trump, by the way, cuz most of his candidates are losing hilariously, but you go out there you go down to Mar Lago. You GROL at his feet begging for his endorsement. You'll finally get it. And then you just sit there and there's, there's no prize money that comes along with this. Like what the hell dude, I just getting an honorary title here. Nobody wants that. Nobody needs that. We need money. We gotta run a cam here. I gotta pay staffers. I gotta buy ads. I gotta do all this stuff. And you are siphoning off all of the money that is available for Republicans to go out there and get personally, I love it. I absolutely love it. Honestly, at this point, I don't even mind that Donald Trump is using this money for his political action committee to basically funnel it back into his own pockets by spending it at his own resorts. Like I'm okay with that because the Republican party being starved for money is probably the best thing that could happen for Democrats ahead of the midterms. Democrats already have more money than Republicans. Republicans are not doing very well with fundraising. And again, a large part of that is because the small money donors out there have given everything they have to give to Donald Trump. Who's just sitting on it since last year. Donald Trump has raised 124 million through his save America pack. And he's only spent 14 million. Now I gotta tell you that's pretty frugal, right? And a lot of it, of course, like I said, has been spent at his own properties. And so the money ends up back in his pocket one way or another. He hasn't officially said he's running for president. So he is not using it to campaign for himself technically by legal definition. It's just there, there, whenever he wants it there, if he doesn't want it, he does want Republicans to come and GROL for it. But so far he is been too stingy to hand out even a single fiber. So that's it. Republicans are getting. Trump is sucking up all the money and the Democrats have to find a way to capitalize on this and maybe cruise into a midterm victory cuz Republicans are going broke.
